Look on their website. But there could be a number of reasons why they only need EEs in those offices.

That's not how I read it. I read it as they need EE in every office, but in those two office they only need EEs (as in they are not hiring other disciplines at those offices).

PSA: Last year, PLIP participants got a discount at the Doubletree Magnificent Mile. I can't remember when it was announced, but I believe it was after pre-selects started showing up. So if you're thinking about booking a room early, be warned that you might jump the gun on a group rate somewhere.

If you want to book early, be cognizant of hotel cancellation policies. It may come to pass (and I don't wish this upon anyone) that you don't get any interviews, in which case you may deem it not worthwhile to show up in Chicago for the program. You'll be kicking yourself if you've paid for a hotel and cannot get a refund. The same thing also applies for flights.

In terms of choosing hotels, I stayed here last year. http://www.redroof-chicago-downtown.com/ It wasn't glorious by any means, but it was cheap at hotels.com, and it was only 2.5 blocks from the Embassy Suites.

True. I stayed with 3 other people in a room and payed less than 100 total for 3 nights at the Doubletree.
